The current implementation of the plugin statuses does not allow users to know if a build failed due to a user error (e.g. wrong input), a plugin bug/crash, or a bug/crash from our code.
This is very valuable information for users trying to understand why their build failed.
It also would help redirect them to the right person: themselves, the plugin author or our support team.
Netlify Build has that information and can easily pass it on the API. We would need to add additional status
state
, e.g.failed_plugin
(user error) vsbug_plugin
(plugin bug) vsbug_core
(bug from our code).We would also need to surface this difference in the UI. What do you think?
